Reliable Data
Fast and Reliable
Crucial decisions are best made thoughtfully. Whether you're in the maritime sector, offshore, agriculture, or industry, reliable geodata ensures that you make the right decision. With the drone mapping services from Rotterdam Robotics, nothing is left to chance. We collect data from the air and transform all information into practical 2D and 3D models. No matter how complex your project's situation is, everything will be clearly visualized. What data would you like our drones to gather for you?
Project examples
Photogrammetry
For our drone mapping services, we use photogrammetry, a highly precise and efficient measurement technique. The drones capture the situation from various altitudes with sharp, high-resolution photos, flying both high and close to the ground. This allows them to capture your project site in the finest detail. Equipped with GPS and IMU systems, they produce high-resolution images. We scan these photos, link all coordinates together, and create a point cloud, which ultimately results in a detailed 3D model.
LiDAR
The LiDAR technique enables us to monitor even the most challenging-to-reach locations for you. LiDAR, which stands for light detection and ranging, provides highly accurate measurements. This technique not only produces 3D models of terrains and project sites but also 3D models of buildings and installations. The LiDAR scanner on our drones detects even the smallest objects and measures distances by emitting laser pulses. The level of accuracy achieved with LiDAR technology is particularly impressive.
From Data to Solutions
Rotterdam Robotics brings your data to life. Do you want to map out the risks for installing an oil platform? Is a preliminary inspection needed for your construction project? Or are you using the mapping services for other purposes? Since merely collecting data isn’t enough for your project, we compile all information into a clear, final product: from a 2D orthophoto to a digital terrain model and from a point cloud to a comprehensive volume calculation.
Benefits of Drone Mapping
The benefits of drone mapping become clear quickly. Drone mapping provides highly accurate and reliable information, gathers essential data in a short time, and saves both time and costs thanks to the speed of drones. Additionally, drones reach challenging locations, ensuring that every detail is mapped. And, of course, the safety aspect is an important advantage—since the drone does the work, no one in your organization is exposed to unnecessary safety risks during the inspection.
Our Equipment
In addition to having extensive experience in drone mapping, our drone operators work with the latest drone technology. For collecting data for your project, they use drones like the Flyability Elios 3 or the DJI Matrice 300. The cameras on these drones detect every detail. And you can watch the inspection live from a safe distance.
For indoor projects, or where a drone’s visibility is limited, we use the Leica RTC360. This precise scanner enable us to create clear digital models of your location, both indoors and outdoors, with millimeter accuracy!
